Gun registration in Omaha

[JimP]

The Honorable William Gordon, in a speech to the House on Thursday, October 4, 1917, proved that the action of President Wilson in ordering the Organized Militia (the National Guard) to fight a war in Europe was so blatantly unconstitutional that he felt Wilson ought to have been impeached.

The Law, nor the Constitutions it is based on, means nothing to a Progressive, be he Wilson, the Won, or the Powers that Be in Omaha ...... just another obstacle to be dealt with on the path of "Progress".

Sorry folks, I don’t see Omaha ever giving up the ordinance concerning registration, not without as big a fight as they can make it.

One simple reason.  It’s a revenue stream.  $$$ in the city's pocket.  Sure, there is a small cost in the process required for the registration, but to a medium sized city the lure of $$$ is just too great for them to "shoot themselves in the foot" so to speak.

I agree that Omaha won't give up gun registration without a fight, but I think it the motivation is political and philosophical, not financial. At most, the $10 or $15 one-time registration fee only covers the cost of processing the application and maintaining the database. It's not a significant revenue source like the wheel tax or restaurant tax.

Wonder what it would really take to get all this "illegal" back to Legal? That is the real question!
